Isaiah 41:15 Behold, I will make of you a threshing sledge, new, sharp, and having teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and crush them, and you shall make the hills like chaff;
Matthew 3:12
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.

Catholics Be Joyful! TOMORROW!

I also add: please visit HIM in the Blessed Sacrament at your local parish or Adoration Chapel...or visit HIM online here: http://www.savior.org/and don't forget your rosary! BE AT PEACE! HE is in CHARGE! FORGET THE POLLS! VOTE LIFE!

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanksin all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

We don't have to be happy, we do have to be joyful.Being happy is being comfortable, healthy and well-fed.

Being joyful is knowing that God's plan is being worked out, and our obedience and submission to it contributes to His glory.

Jesus was not happy on the Cross, but He was joyful.We fast and pray, we ask for mercy, but we accept whatever comes, punishment or pleasure.

Times of persecution were prophesied.

If we are found worthy to be subject to them, we should rejoice.

"Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?

"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,nor be weary when reproved by him.For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,and chastises every son whom he receives."

It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them.Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For theydisciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines usfor our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all disciplineseems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit ofrighteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for asingle meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit theblessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought itwith tears.

Hebrews 12:3-17

Every drop of blood shed by the abortionist's scalpel will have to be repaid. Perhaps we have been chosen to participate, be God's co-workers, as St. Paul said, in this work of redemption...Conversely, if the Butcher from Chicago fails in his bid, then we must raise our voices in the ancient hymns:

The following is a well known translation of the Te Deum, which, though not literal, preserves much of the spirit and force of the original. Except for the seventh stanza, which is a rendering of verses 20 and 21 by Msgr. Hugh Thomas Henry (1862-1946), it was written by Fr. Clarence Alphonsus Walworth (1820-1900).

HOLY God, we praise Thy Name Lord of all we bow before Thee;all on earth Thy scepter claim,all in heaven above adore Thee;Infinite Thy vast domain,everlasting is Thy reign.

If you call yourself Catholic and have voted or will vote for Obama OR any politician that supports abortion, then please leave the church. Your limp defense of our Catholic teachings are undermining God's plans. You are misinterpreting the US Bishops position on voting. May God forgive your position.
